Android :: How To Switch From Activity To ListActivity?

Jul 24, 2010

This post probably shows my ignorance of Android coding, but here goes. I have a sample app I am developing which starts by extending Activity. I have a main.XML layout which works great. On a button click from the main layout I'd like to load a ListView. I think I understand how to use ListView and seed data into it. I have created a new layout which contains this ListView. I am confused, however, how I switch from a regular Activity to a ListActivity so I get the convenience methods like setListAdapter()? Should I be starting with a ListView, and then drawing the other view on top once the app starts by inflating the layout and using it? If not, how do I create a ListActivity object inside my app, and where should I create that? If you have a sample application or tutorial that shows how to do this, I would appreciate it.

Android :: How Do You Switch Activity Programatically?

Aug 28, 2010

It seems like every example I can find of switching between Activity's involves creating an Intent and passing in the context of a View via an OnClickListener associated with a button.But what if you just decide you need to switch Activity's? In my case, a Preference value is causing an Activity switch. How do you create an Intent that can cause an Activity switch without an associated OnClickListener?

Android :: Program Will Not Switch To Activity On My Phone

Oct 27, 2010

public class TestCamera extends Activity implements SurfaceHolder.Callback, View.OnClickListener {
Camera.PictureCallback mPictureCallback = new Camera.PictureCallback() {
@Override
public void onPictureTaken(byte[] data, Camera camera) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
picture = data } };
@Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
if ((keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_CENTER)) {
mCamera.takePicture(null, null, mPictureCallback);
return true; }
return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event); }
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
switch(view.getId()) {
case R.id.camera:
picture_intent = new Intent(this, PictureViewer.class);
picture_intent.putExtra("picture", picture);
mCamera.startPreview();
startActivity(picture_intent); } }

In the emulator, the program behaves like it should. However, when I put this application on my phone (Nexus one), it doesn't switch to the new Activity when I touch the screen after I take a picture. If I touch the screen without taking a picture, it switches to the new activity. I can't figure out why my phone won't switch to the new Activity after taking a picture.

Android :: Simple Activity Switch Not Working - No Errors

Feb 19, 2010

I have a basic calculator app I'm making. Two activities, the main one and ResultView.

I've made it where I click a button on activity A to go to activity B. The log says activity B is started and "displayed" successfully, the title for the new activity loads, but the body does NOT show. I added a simple Text view with static text.. see the result.xml at the bottom. I also tried inserting information programmatically, but that didn't do.

When I debug the program, I tried putting breakpoints as the activity is called with startActivity() as well as on the first line of the onCreate method within the ResultView class (my activity "B") but the program never hits the second breakpoint. In fact, it looks as if Looper.class is called in the end.

This bit of code is placed in the button handler on acitivity A:

CODE:........

The activity is in the manifest, within the "application" tag:

CODE:....................

If more info is needed, let me know...in short, "HELLO WORLD" does not display at all.

Android :: Switch Back To Previously Selected Tab After Activity Is Recreated?

Jun 13, 2010

In my TabActivity the user may be asked to switch to browser activity for OAuth phase, and if the phase takes too much time, my activity will be killed. After the user switches back to my activity, its onCreate() method is invoked again and tabs are recreated.

So I would like to know if there is any simple way to switch back to previous tab, and keep the tab as what it was. For example, one of the tab views contains a ViewSwitcher child, and I want to switch back to the switched view after recreating the activity.

Android :: ListActivity In Tab Crashes

Oct 26, 2009

I'm trying to create an application that has 3 tabs. Under the middle tab should be a ListView. It starts up fine (on the left tab) but when I click the middle tab it crashes.

The other two tabs are static data specified in the main.xml file. But the middle tab, I try to create dynamically. Here's the code from the main onCreate function:

CODE:...............

Instead I appear to get an exception:

CODE:...............

ContactListActivity is defined this way:

public class ContactListActivity extends ListActivity { ...

I get the feeling that I'm supposed to create the Intent with something like Intent.ACTION_VIEW but this is where I get lost. If this is the problem, I could try stuff until it works, but I'd prefer to understand why.

Or is ContactListActivity supposed to override something ?

Android :: Rotation With ListActivity

Feb 8, 2010

I have a problem with rotation, during my ListActivity is loading data from the network. To do it I use a background thread which recovers data and put them inside an ArrayList. While this thread works, there is Progress dialog activated in foreground. For the rotation I use the method with onRetainNonConfigurationInstance() to save my ArrayList's state. After android calls this method, I call dismiss() on the progress dialog on onStop(). Then the activity is created as new with onCreate(), but it use the getLastNonConfigurationInstance() to recover the ArrayList's state. Now, my problem. If I rotate from portrait to lanscape when the download is terminated and I see the data in portrait yet, everything is ok. If I rotate during progress dialog is showing I have two cases: 1- onRetainNonConfigurationInstance() saves the arraylist fully recovered, the thread terminates and everything is ok. 2- onRetainNonConfigurationInstance() saves the arraylist empty, i think the download isn't finished yet. The onCreate is called and my list is empty, the thread terminates, but i don't see anything in my list. If I am in this case and I still rotate from landscape to portrait now I can see my list full with all the data. Why? Where am I wrong?

Android :: Using ListView Without ListActivity

Jan 13, 2010

I want to create a custom list view in my application. I want it to lay over the top of the application screen, with portions of the screen not filled by the listview showing the underlying application. I've been reading about ListActivity, how it can be started to handle item selected callbacks. I've also read about people simply inserting onClick handlers into the listview as it is drawn. I'm trying to decide the best way to proceed. Is it "dirty" to attach onClick handlers to the rows of a listview? It doesn't seem like the best approach, for instance, it only handles Touch Mode, not the DPAD clicks. This approach doesn't seem like what the architects had in mind. On the other hand, I don't see a good way that I can start a list activity and still have access to all the application variables I need. Do I pass the application in the context and refer back to it from even handlers after casting the context back to it's original class?

Android :: ImageView In ListActivity

Jan 11, 2010

I have an ListActivity that I wan't to add a logo to at the top above the list but I'm unsuccessful. This is what my layout looks like at the moment.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"> <ImageView android:id="@+id/logo" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" /> <ListView android:id="@android:id/list" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:drawSelectorOnTop="false"> </ListView> <TextView android:id="@+id/empty" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:text="@string/list_empty" /> </LinearLayout>

Then I add an drawable to the ImageView logo in onCreate. I've managed to show either the ListView or the ImageView but never both of them in the same LinearLayout. Is it possible to add other views together with a ListView?

Android :: ListActivity Out Of Memory

Sep 8, 2009

I am using a ListActivity. Each list entry contains an ImageView and a TextView. I have a huge list and has been getting Out of Memory errors once I scroll through a fair amount of them. I figured I need to reduce the size of the images but I am wondering what happens to the objects once the list entry is hidden from view (as i scroll down the list). I have read somewhere that the list entry objects are automatically re-use. But what happens to the drawable images which were loaded into the ImageView? IF the ImageView object is reused, what happens to the binary image? Are they freed automatically? How do I prevent the OutOfMemory exception? I want to do something similar like the Android Market. As one scroll downwards the images are loaded and new entries are loaded. The Markey can have a long list which one can scroll down and all the way back up again without any problem. The only difference being mine throws OutOfMemory Exception. Advice anyone?
